I certainly don't expect them to conduct the interview in the person's chosen language though I would think that some sort of translator would be allowed if needed? (at the applicant's own expense of course) I'm just wondering (if it was allowed) if it could be a family member or if it had to be a neutral 3rd party. From the sounds of what you mentioned, it seems no translator allowed - it's English or French only directly to the applicant.
No. Contact a Enrollment center if needed but my assumption is no. If they can't go through the interview in one of the official language, then how are they suppose to make verbal/written declarations when traveling? It would be time consuming and a bit suspicious if a kid was always there to translate information.
